Portillo's Gilbert

It has that old-town charm that's getting harder and harder to find these days. The hot dogs are always fantastic, the service is genuinely friendly, and every visit reminds me of a simpler time when neighbors waved to each other and people actually knew their regular customers. Whether I'm meeting up with friends and family or just stopping in for a quick dog, it's always worth the trip. No gimmicks, no trendy nonsense--just great food, great people, and a place that still feels like part of the community. After 13 years, it's still one of the first places I recommend to anyone who's never been. That's about the best compliment I can give.

I got the Sooo Cali, not sure what it was but I didn't like the taste of the dog that much, which I thought was weird because I could of sworn I've had a dog there before. I did like the toppings though. We also ordered a side of tots that came out hot and crispy. Nice place to go hang out with friends, watch some football, drink some beer and eat.

We went late at night and it wasn't as good as it has potential to be. The quesibirrias were so good for me. They were tiny and the juicy. They broke immediately after biting into it but it broke evenly to eat in pieces. We also got a FOOTLONG SONORAN HOTDOG. It's perfect for 2 people. I had an horchata that was so huge! Literally! But it was the last bit and it was TOTALLY worth it. It was refreshing and delicious. The only sad part was the bar has sooo much potential but the little tiny cups for lime and cucumber is so sad. It's the perfect size for their spicy salsas though. They are hot, so beware! Definitely has a lot of potential for sure. I hope to comeback soon when the birria is fresh! (;

When I entered, I was thinking I had made a mistake. The place was abuzz bit dingy looking. Ceiling tiles were water stained and dirty looking. The tile floor had some broken pieces and chunks missing. But, I was there. So I ordered two orders of the three queso birria tacos with consume, to go. The woman behind the counter was very pleasant and more than helpful. As I waited, I grabbed some salsa and limes from the fairy well stocked condiment cart. After ten or fifteen minutes, I got my order. There were around 6 or 7 people ahead of me, so it was a reasonable wait. I took my order and went home. This is where my opinion was changed. There was a decent amount of filling in the tacos. I took a sip of the consome, and was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful it was! No grease layer on top (like so many others I have tried), just a well seasoned and savory broth. I dressed my tacos with lime and salsa, dipped into the consome, and took a bite. What a pleasure! The meat was tender, juicy and well seasoned. Not overdone with the cheese. Just a great bite! Goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover. Well done Los Mayitos!

After asking for covers and straws, I couldn't even get the straw down inside the bottom of the cups bc there was so much ice! Even broke the cups trying! Never did get a new cup. Hubby and I only received straws once the food came out and we'd asked again for straws. Later she brought us the wrong pizza, which she should've known better bc we'd just sat down, & NONE of the other food was ready. We didn't know, so we happily shared the pizza amongst the children only to realize the mix up after they told us it came with sausage (that you could barely see on the pizza). Oh well. They didn't charge us for the extra topping. Reading other reviews, & yeah, the $17 "[sun devil] burger didn't even come with fries!" It was fire tho, & they even had vegan cheese for me, which was a plus. I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was so messy and delicious, and it hit the spot! No fries was a bummer tho. Ordered some for extra??? They have happy hour from 2-6 everyday with $1 off all drinks during that time. We didn't have any. Hubby didn't like the Nashville spicy wings. He was just expecting them to be hotter, & they weren't spicy at all. When we left, I was surprised to see a kitchen full of employees, especially with how slow the service was. Our waiter was cool tho. Spot was overall cool for a game/drink. I would only eat there again if I was in the area but only because I wanna try that coffee martini with Kahula, too.

YET ANOTHER SOGGY BEEF SANDWICH! A slimy disaster! Had to park and go inside the lobby, being handicapped makes it painful! I tried to get someone's attention, but I had to stand there and wait in the damn line behind all these other people, because I did not want them to think I was line jumping! Finally, they got me a manager! He wanted my receipt! I explained my situation and told him you're a cashier obviously remembers me from 10 minutes ago, but he said they need a receipt. So I went back out to my car and got the receipt came back in and this time I jumped the line and demanded for him to come over and finish my complaint. I got my refund no apology no explanation just here. Goodbye! If you are stupid enough to trust your time and your money to this uncaring place, you deserve what is about to happen. read more

While this location doesn't have the same nostalgia that I feel going to the other one, the steaks are still good. My tip would be to get a regular steak with Wiz and share fries with someone. You could get the mini steak and your own fries, but I think you'd be happier with MORE STEAK. Ask for some seasoning salt if you want to add a little spice to the fries (or get some fry sauce from the fridge by the soda fountain). (I have been coming to Forefathers for more than a decade and a half and have never had the chicken. For someone who likes to try everything, that is unusual and I think speaks to the quality of their steaks.) Get the steak. Even if you get a salad, get the steak on top. :D

This is actually a food truck, which is parked on the side of the Tipsy Catcus, which is a really cool brewery I also checked out while I was waiting for my order. I ordered the original cheesesteak with the white cheese and whiz cheese combo (I tried to order my usual provolone, but they don't offer provolone as one of the cheese choices) and the fried mushrooms. I was the only person who pulled up around six P.M. and because this was on a Wednesday night, not a Friday night, hence the low traffic. But service was really good. The young lady who helped me out was prompt, explained everything and gave me a pager, which allowed me to go inside the brewery while I waited. One thing to note, while I was talking to the owner of the tipsy cactus, he told me that Friday night and Saturday nights are usually popping. So I wouldn't expect to be first in line on any of those nights. It also looks like they rotate food trucks on different nights, so don't assume that the cheesesteak truck is going to be here every night. I would check the tipsy cactus website, or Instagram page to be sure. It took about 15 minutes for them to complete my order and when I got it home and I dug in. I was really satisfied as the food was super good. Cheesesteak was on point with the prime rib being top quality, and the fried mushrooms were well done, juicy, with a really good homemade sauce that they packed in with my order. I almost forgot about the churro I ordered. And I forgot about it because I accidentally left it in the bag in the car and didn't eat it until the next day. It didn't matter. A short blast in the microwave and this thing was killa. I'll definitely be looking forward to checking this place out again in the future.
